NovelEnglishHe was one of Fitch's people. He'd shown up because he couldn't reach Fitch; thus he ended up knocking on Maja's door.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, you might not be aware, but when someone in politics screws up, their place of detention is not your run-of-the-
mill cell. Bernard's rivals are looking to take him down, so as soon as they got wind that Queena might have been swapped over,
they've been on this case like bloodhounds. But the trail led to Mr. Raymond, and the evidence is ironclad. They've found Queena's
ashes."
Found them? If Bernard was planning on using Queena to control lan, she would need to be alive, wouldn't she? Now they're saying
they found her ashes? What in the world was going on?
"Are we certain those ashes are hers?"
"Positive. The task force has verified it, and Queena left a suicide note that mentioned Mr. Raymond. Now, with Mr. Raymond locked
up, and Bernard facing dismissal, there's no higher-ups left to throw Mr. Raymond a lifeline."
When self-interest was at stake, everyone had their own agenda. And Bernard, having been in power for so many years, had barely
made a misstep - except for that the let lan whisk Patric away.
Now that there was a chance to oust him, who would want to let that opportunity slip by?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaja's face grew stern. The whole point of having Fitch release Queena was to keep tabs on Bernard's actions. But this boomerang
had cback to hit lan instead. It seemed Bernard had anticipated this move and had set lan up to take the fall.
Now with lan in a coma, was he really going to be carted off to prison unconscious?
"Who's in charge of lan's transfer?"
"It's Rachel from the task force. Ms. Pennyfeather, she's a tough nut to crack and is notorious for not giving two hoots about
anyone's reputation.”
Maja rubbed her temples and wasted no tin getting Rachel's number. When Rachel picked up the call and heard it was about
lan, the corner of her mouth curled up in scorn.
"You're asking about lan Raymond, the CEO of the Raymond Corporation? The sguy who caused my mentor deprived of his
position?"
The venom in her last words was palpable; it was clear she had a bone to pick with lan.
Only then did Maja realize Rachel was a former student of Bernard's and held him in high regard.
Rachel rudely hung up the phone and even blocked Maja's number.
Maja stared at the now dark screen, her mind a tangled mess. She glanced at Beck and Dylan sitting on the couch, wanting to ask
something, but not knowing where to even begin.
Dylan was sifting through a pile of documents, spreading them out with his slender fingers, "Let's not panic just yet. Let's comb
through the details carefully. We might have missed something."
With the stakes so high, how could Maja not be anxious? And she was pregnant; any emotional upheaval could easily lead to
nausea.
She took a sip of warm water, her complexion pale. But as Dylan flipped through the documents, his finger paused on one.
"Is it possible that Bernard wasn't trying to use lan to resurrect his son, but rather to use Fitch?"
Maja's eyelashes fluttered. She had assumed Bernard was after lan's body because of his persistent targeting.
But now, with Fitch going to that place and no word from him, could it be that Bernard's sights had never been set on lan, but on
Fitch all along?
If that was the case, what was his reason for taking lan? Her lips pressed together as she watched Dylan stand up to pour her
another glass of water.
"Take it easy. The more chaotic it gets, the more we need to stay calm."
